Hello World!

This week I dabbled in stencilling and apparel craft- something new for me! With warm weather quickly approaching, I was inspired to up cycle one of my husband’s old t-shirts into a workout tank. But let me be clear, working out is NOT something I desire to do for fun. Of course, this means that my tank had to be sassy and food related. Today I’ll share with you my process, and my Silhouette Studio file, to create my DIY Donut Stenciled Workout Tank!

Despite the wintry forecast in my area, I recently completed a display for my library that exudes spring- Colorful Clouds & Raindrops! This display is perfect for a library, but could also be a great project for party decorations, or a child’s room! I used my trusty Silhouette Cameo, of course, and have broken down the process for you. I’ve also included my cut files so you can get to crafting without delay!

This week I tapped into my overabundance of sequins and created another shaker card I absolutely love– a card fit for a beer drinker (male or female, or course!) With a special birthday coming up I designed this simple birthday beer shaker card. I’m excited to share my process and my free Silhouette Studio file, or JPG to trace for those of you using other cutting software!

This week I am excited to show off some awesome and inexpensive DIY wood wall frames I created for my hallway. Now I can’t take credit for the idea, I found it in a book- of all places! 😉 I was inspired by Handmade Walls from the DIY team at The Handmade Home. For complete project details definitely pick up this book! This was the perfect weekend DIY and it really adds character to our gallery hallway. Here’s the run through of how I created my one of kind frames!

This week I wanted to share one of my recent crafty endeavors- a gold, fall inspired thank you tag! Personalized tags are a great way to dress up gifts for the holidays! With Thanksgiving on the way, a tag like this would be the perfect way to adorn that holiday feast food offering, or bottle of wine.

In the spirit of giving, I’ve also included for free, the “Thank you” cut file for your crafty own collection!

Although it is hard to believe, the year is almost over and November is in full swing! Today I want to share with you a fun library display for No-Shave November- I Mustache You to Read These Books! This project was a great excuse to use my Silhouette Cameo and the PixScan mat, and super easy to make just using good ol’ scissors.
